The Marriott Marquis Washington, DC opened on May 1, 2014. We are extremely proud of the efforts of the development team of Quadrangle Development Corp. and Capstone Development, as well as their general contractor, Hensel Phelps Construction Co., in ensuring that the project set a new standard for both Certified Business Enterprise (“CBE”) participation and employment of District residents in a public‐private project. Overall, the project spent $122.6 million (or 145 percent of the $84.5 million goal) with District CBEs. In addition, the First Source Employment Agreement between the development team and the Department of Employment Services resulted in 30.7 percent of the construction jobs being filled by DC residents. We have not yet received a final report from DOES as to the number of construction jobs generated by the project for DC residents. In tandem with the construction project, Events DC funded a $2 million workforce intermediary program to train District residents for jobs at the Marquis, and through a competitive process, selected Goodwill of Greater Washington to team with other organizations to implement the program. This was a first‐of‐its‐kind program, with Goodwill partnering with One DC, the University of the District of Columbia, United Way, DOES and community and neighborhood organizations throughout the city to recruit and screen over 3,000 residents from all eight wards. The following are key program statistics and a breakdown of participation in the program by ward: • 3,688 recruited in total from all 8 Wards; • 3,094 completed the application process; • After skills assessment, drug testing and interviews, 719 were eligible for the program; • Of the 719, 579 received life skills and/or hotel training and 140 were referred directly to Marriott; and • 178 program graduates were hired by Marriott for opening day, comprising more than one‐third of the inaugural hotel staff.

As a result, Destination DC estimates the total delegate spending for these events at $462 million. These meetings would generate an estimated $11.46 million in revenue for the Authority.
